📢 Important Advisory for Patients Considering Cosmetic/Medical Procedures
Dear Valued Patients,
We believe in providing you with the best care and guidance as you consider cosmetic procedures to enhance your well-being. It is crucial for us to ensure that you are well-informed and understand the nuances of these procedures, including their limitations and potential risks. Please take a moment to read and absorb the following points:
No Guaranteed Outcomes: It is essential to comprehend that no medical treatment or surgery can be guaranteed to result in absolute benefits or complete recovery. We want to emphasize that there are no guarantees of being "cured" or achieving specific outcomes.
Informed Decision Making: Prior to undergoing any cosmetic procedure, we encourage you to educate yourself about the procedure's details, potential risks, and anticipated outcomes. This empowers you to make informed decisions aligned with your personal goals and expectations.
Risk Considerations: No procedure is entirely risk-free. All medical interventions, including cosmetic procedures, carry inherent risks. Understanding and accepting these risks is a vital part of your journey towards achieving your desired results.
Doctor's Skill and Competence: We assure you that our team possesses the necessary expertise and competence in their respective fields. We commit to applying our skills with reasonable care and competence to ensure your safety and well-being.
Timing and Emotional Well-being: Optimal results from cosmetic procedures can be influenced by emotional factors. We recommend considering the timing of your procedure, especially in relation to major life events such as relocation, job changes, bereavement, relationship changes, or the arrival of children. Emotional stability contributes positively to your overall experience.
Your health and satisfaction are our top priorities. By acknowledging these points, you are taking an active role in your journey towards self-enhancement. If you have any questions or concerns, our dedicated team is here to provide you with the guidance you need.
Thank you for trusting us with your care.
How many sessions are required?
How many sessions are required?
The healthier your skin/hair are when starting out, the easier it will take the treatment. The sessions must be spaced to allow adequate healing in between. Skin/Hair that are healthy enough to regenerate fairly quickly will be able to endure more sessions of a treatment in a shorter period of time.
While these aren’t the only factors involved, they are the most common. Don’t be surprised, however, if your doctor mentions another situation that could impact the length and/or number of sessions you may require. Every person is different, and your circumstances will be unique only to YOU.
A skin biopsy is a simple procedure performed by your dermatologist under local anesthesia. Your dermatologist will first inject a small amount of anesthesia into the designated area. After the area is numb, your dermatologist will remove either part of the growth or the entire growth. The growth will then be sent to a pathology lab for microscopic examination by a dermatopathologist (a pathologist or dermatologist specialized in the microscopic examination of skin disease). After the biopsy is performed, a bandage will be placed over the wound area, and your doctor will explain to you the postoperative wound care instructions. The biopsy results, which will take a few days, will indicate whether or not you have skin cancer and, if so, what type of skin cancer you have. There are different techniques to perform a skin biopsy. Your dermatologist will select one of the techniques listed below, depending on the location of the treated area and the type of skin growth to be analyzed:
- Shave biopsy: a surgical blade is used to cut a superficial slice of either part of the growth or the entire growth. There is usually no stitching involved with this biopsy technique, and the wound heals by itself over a period of 1 to 3 weeks, thus the resulting scar is minimal. If the shave biopsy goes deeper into the skin, the resulting scar will be more visible and the shape of the scar will be the shape of the skin biopsy.
- Punch biopsy: a small cylindrical instrument is used to cut either part of the growth or the entire growth. The resulting wound is usually stitched side by side. The punch biopsy technique allows for a deeper sampling of the growth. Because the wound is usually stitched, the resulting scar is linear. If nondissolvable stitches are used, they will be removed within 1 to 2 weeks after the biopsy, depending on the location of the treated area.
- Excisional biopsy: a surgical blade is used to completely remove the growth. The resulting wound is usually stitched side by side. As with the punch biopsy, the resulting scar is linear. If nondissolvable stitches are used, they will be removed within 1 to 2 weeks after the biopsy, depending on the location of the treated area.
